Bilateral Exchange Sessions

2025 KPS Spring Meeting   April 23-25, 2025   Daejeon Convention Center 1

"Bilateral Exchange Sessions" aim to share research results and promote international cooperation through exchanges between two countries (Korea and one other country). Session titles and organizers of bilateral exchange sessions for upcoming meeting are as follows. E represents an ‘English session’ where all authors present in English.


1) E [Nuclear Physics] Extreme Rare Isotope Science

   Time/Room: TBA  

 

  [Organizers] SHIN Taeksu (IRIS, IBS), SONG Young-Ho (IRIS, IBS), AHN Deuk Soon (CENS, IBS), AHN Jung Keun (Korea Univ.)
 

   [Scope]
"The purpose of the session is to provide a survey of the status of various extreme rare isotope sciences including nuclear structure, reaction, and nuclear astrophysics and promote the international research collaboration between Korea and Japan in the extreme rare isotope science. The active research collaboration with Japan, where RIKEN has the experience of the production of the world top class rare isotope beam, can provide an nourishing environment for the world class research of the extreme rare isotope science utilizing the rare isotope accelerator RAON in Korea. "



2) E [Optics and Quantum Electronics] Spin-based Quantum Sensing Bilateral Exchange Session between Korea and Germany

   Time/Room: TBA  

 

  [Organizers] OH Sangwon (Ajou Univ, LEE Junghyun(KIST), SEO Hosung (Sungkyunkwan Univ.)
 

   [Scope]
Horizon Europe is one of the largest international research funding programs in Europe, investing 95.5 billion euros over 7 years from 2021 to 2027. The Republic of Korea was approved as an associate member of the program in 2024, securing eligibility for direct research funding. The Bilateral Exchange session aims to provide an opportunity for Korean and German researchers in spin-based quantum sensing to deepen their understanding of each other’s research area and establish joint research goals through mutual exchange. Based on this, we aim to lay the groundwork for Korea’s participation in the Horizon Europe program starting in 2025.



3) E [Semiconductor Physics] Frontier of Boron Nitride Based Science and Technology

   Time/Room: TBA  

 

  [Organizers] Kim Soo Min (Sookmyung Woment’s University), Kim Ki Kang (Sungkyunkwan University), Kim Young Duck (Kyung Hee University)
 

   [Scope]
Boron nitride (BN) is a material with excellent thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and high electrical insulation properties, making it a key component in next-generation two-dimensional electronic and quantum devices. Japan leads the world in hBN single-crystal growth and precision analysis techniques, driving advancements in BN-based device applications. Meanwhile, Korea has demonstrated strengths in large-area hBN synthesis and various nanoscale device applications, particularly excelling in quantum optics and spin-quantum coupling research using hBN. This Bilateral Session will bring together the latest BN research achievements from both Korea and Japan, covering topics from material growth and device applications to quantum phenomena. Through in-depth discussions, we aim to explore opportunities for collaboration and strengthen scientific ties between the two countries.



4) E [Biological Physics] Korea-Taiwan Bilateral Exchange in Biophysics

   Time/Room: TBA  

 

  [Organizers] HONG Seok-Cheol (Korea University), KIM Hajin (UNIST), KIM Byoung Choul (Incheon National University), HIRAIWA, Tetsuya (Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica)
 

 

   [Scope]
This session seeks to establish a collaborative platform between the Biophysics Divisions of the Korean Physical Society and Biophysics researchers in Taiwan. By facilitating academic exchange and joint discussions, the session aims to promote advancements in biophysics through shared expertise, innovative research, and strengthened professional networks. It will provide an opportunity for researchers and students to present their work, engage in interdisciplinary dialogues, and explore potential collaborative projects. Ultimately, this initiative aspires to contribute to the global development of biophysics and reinforce long-term partnerships between the two societies.
